What Banged? Top Scientist Neil Turok at Canada's Perimeter Institute to Share Insight on Deepest Mysteries of the Cosmos
2008
Overview
WATERLOO, ON, Feb. 27 /CNW/ - The evidence that the universe emerged 14 billion years ago from an event called 'the Big Bang' is overwhelming. Yet the cause of this event remains deeply mysterious. In the conventional picture, the 'initial singularity' is unexplained. It is simply assumed that the universe somehow sprang into existence full of 'inflationary' energy, blowing up the universe into the large, smooth state we observe today. While this picture is in excellent agreement with current observations, it is both contrived and incomplete, leading us to suspect that it is not the final word. With Stephen Hawking, he later developed the Hawking-Turok instanton solutions describing the birth of inflationary universes. Most recently, with [Paul Steinhardt] at Princeton, he has been developing a cyclic model for cosmology, according to which the big bang is explained as a collision between two \"brane-worlds\" in M- theory. In 2006, Steinhardt and [Neil Turok] showed how the model could naturally incorporate a mechanism for relaxing the cosmological constant to very small values, consistent with current observations. Steinhardt and Turok cowrote the recent popular science book \"Endless Universe.\"
